History of 12 Gauge Shotgun Shells

The 12 gauge is the most used shotgun shell today, and it has existed in its current cartridge configuration since the late 1800s. Twelve gauge rounds, often seen as 12ga, are used in various situations, including hunting birds and small game, recreational shooting, and home defense.

These ammunitions provide various options in close quarters but don’t perform well at long-distance shots because the projectiles quickly lose their velocity; they require a close-range target, typically 45 yards or less.

What are the most popular 12 Gauge brands you sell?

The left sidebar allows you to filter our entire selection to see which brands we currently have in stock and available using the Manufacturers filter. You can also filter by attributes such as Pellet Type, Load Weight, Shell Length, and Shot Material to find what you need.

  • KG said:

  • William said:

    Good price and great ammo what else can you ask for. Oh and fast shipping!

  • Gunslinger said:

    These shells are longer than 2 3/4" but shorter than 3", which means you'll one less in your tube magazine than expected. So just treat them like 3" shells.

  • Debra said:

    Great buy and was here in just a few days! I will be shopping here again. Just waiting for the ammo I need to be restocked. Thank you so much.

  • dakitan said:

    shoots great holds a good pattern would buy again. but then i already did

  • Dave said:

    Good ammo at a fair price worked well in my pump and semi auto. The only down fall I see is I wish the wad covered the shot so the lead wouldn't dirty the barrel as much. Over all very happy.

  • Tazz said:

    Great Ammo, I am looking forward to buying more in the future!!!

  • Dave said:

    I bought this ammo for a good price, Shot a few boxes shot and cycled flawlessly. Would recommend to a friend.

  • MICHELLE said:

    In a recent tactical training session with my RIA VR-80, I wanted to test out the BioAmmo I had ordered before consuming more expensive Black Tactical 00. Out of 150 BioAmmo #4 rounds used there was 1 FTF and 1 FTE which I considered quite acceptable. Performance and reliability was at least as good as Federal ammo I had used prior to replenishment with BioAmmo, and the price really could not be beat. Will be reordering another 250 round package because it is such a great value, particularly for practice purposes.

  • Mark A said:

    This ammo is just as good if not better than the big name brands. It does exactly what it should do every time, so far . Great ammo, good price, great performance,and AMMO .COM is EXCELLENT!!

  • Mark said:

    These shells are great. Great price,great performance and an EXCELLENT company to buy from.

  • ed said:

    great stuff

  • Hunter said:

    This ammo has performed as I expected. Great value.

  • Chunk said:

    I trust for home defense and use for practice since price is great and they always perform exceptional . It's such a beautiful time to be alive when we can order this to our front door with a click of a button .......

  • Commander said:

    This is the only ammo that will cycle through my 20 round Saiga mag

  • ACR-Dude said:

    Ammo.com has consistently provided me very prompt service as well as great bargains on excellent ammunition. Ammo.com will continue to be my main source assisting me in keeping my inventory topped off.

  • sixftmoose said:

    I have always trusted Federal ammo to be good quality and this 12 gauge ammo once again proves to me that Federal knows what they are doing when it comes to making ammo! I have had no problems what so ever with any of the ammo I purchased from Ammo.com and I'm a life long customer after dealing with them, the ammo arrived quickly and has served its purpose. I used the ammo in my brand new Mossberg 500 and it cycled properly with no problems, consistent pattern, reasonable recoil and came in a handy little ammo can in great shape (Nice little bonus if you ask me!) I would recommend this ammo to anyone looking for a good quality 00 Buck.

  • Hondobob said:

    I've gone through two cans of this excellent shotgun ammo without complaint. It cycles just fine in my old Winchester 1897, High Standard Supermatic, and a Norinco clone of the Colt 1878 side-by-side. Good patterns and power with manageable recoil. Some ammo cans are loaded with 25-round boxes, others with smaller boxes, but always a total of 175 rounds. An excellent choice for hunting or defense. I'm buying more when it's available.

  • Johnny said:

    I needed some ammo with a little more oomph for my Benelli SBE3 because standard "target" ammo tended to jam. I had zero jams with this ammo and hit virtually everything I shot at. I will definitely be ordering more. The quality and performance was very good.

  • John said:

    The ammo was great I am going to purchase more

  • GEORGE said:

    I was not disappointed with this ammo. Shoots and ejects just fine---Thank You for this great product.

  • joker said:

    Very happy with my new ammo.

  • Kenneth said:

    How did you do that? I think you bypassed standard delivery (FedEx, UPS) & used your Circus Cannon. These shells hit my front porch before I heard the report. All kidding aside, thanks for providing a good product with such excellent customer service, especially during this trying time. You are greatly appreciated!

  • ShotgunMike said:

    Ammo is what you would expect, its good. If you ever need ammo, ammo.com. Honestly the best. Ammo is good, ammo.com is great.

  • Aces and 8s said:

    I love these rounds, 00 buck out if a 2 3/4 shell with this kinda punch is second to none, no misfires and no jams consistently and when you are done doing 19 in a row, there's tnothing left but fire and dust... I just hate not being able to get more

  • Mark A said:

    AMMO.COM, i LOVE this place. Good deals, pretty good selection, Great customer service. BUT, THE SHIPPING.... i didnt know the warehouse was in my backyard, lol. NO, but really, the fastest shipping ive ever encountered. THE only place to buy = AMMO.com nothing else to say.

  • james said:

    performance great

  • Hey Now said:

    These shipped quickly, delivered quickly, and they work!! Pew pew boom!! Options are limited at the moment, and this was just right.

  • J-Green said:

    These are hot shells that kick more than a slug, i love them. But most people aren't gonna be looking for this kinda kick. I definitely would order more if they were in stock though.

  • Bascat said:

    I purchased the ammo for use in 3 gun matches. The ammo shoots well considering the price, The drawback is the crimp. This ammo has a roll crimp instead of a normal crimp which makes it too long for the shoot shell carriers used in 3 gun and cuts down on the capacity that can be loaded in the shotgun tube.

    Gun Clubs are always one of the best shells out there, but the price was still high.

    Shot this through a VR-80 and another auto-loader. Never cycled in the VR-80 and sometimes it did in the other one.

    Had no issues with these shells. Fires well. No malfunctions.

    If the price was lower and in line with your competitors, the value would get a five.
